N'easter

[Lloyd_E]

Amazing what a few hours can do...

Another n'easter is heading our way. And this Sunday and Monday we are expecting more.
Tractor is fueled and extra fuel is on hand. Generator is full but I will pick up more gas
later today.

The last three days felt like spring. Plus degrees and longer days. In fact the buds are swelling on most of the cherry, apple and assorted fruit trees and hard woods.

Oh well... time to put more tea on and fill up the wood stove.

Looks like were in for another blast. It still looks good here (Pictou County), nice and clear, but cold (-12).

 

[Lloyd_E]

It's -2.5 here. Total white out. Can barely see the woods and pasture - about 75'.

I think I will head into town sooner. Wind is out of the s'east & 17 mph. Wind chill is -17.

Bat'n down the hatches!!!

-2 here,wind east at 45km,about 5 cm of snow so far,looks as if I will be moving snow all day tomorrow.
The CK25 probably will hit 300 hours tomorrow,not bad for 9 months

 

[Lloyd_E]

Oldtrout: 300 hours in 9 months!!! That's a lot of hours. I'm hitting about 175 in 8 months.

I'm on the coast - so lots of drifting. Wind comes off the cove and up the pasture. Not much snow yet but it is windy and white outside.

-8f here in the dakotas
wishing the lil snow we have in the forcast waits a week

going to be fun to do it inside from a cab next week instead of sitting on an open seat

 

[Oldtrout]

I use it in my landscape business,and snow removal,hense the # of hours, if all goes as planned should put another 500 hours on the clock in the next 12 months,it all depends on the economy and how much money my customers want to spend. Reminds me better call Mike and order filters today.

Stay safe and warm during the storm.

Gentlemen, reading your temps, will be pleased with our forecast of 58 this Saturday. That is 3 more than last Saturday but no rain nor major wind so great day to work outside. Be safe.

A gentle rain is now falling on my recently cleared driveways!

 

[Oldtrout]

Well it stopped snowing and raining,went out and plowed 4 driveways,not plowed this year,the panic call came," need to get out can you come plow me" Well now that was fun,6 to 8 inches of wet snow on top of 4 inches of ice.I gave them the bill and told them yep its high,however it would of been less if I would of plowed after each storm well they need to think on that.. I guess the 200 buck bill per driveway got them thinking. Yes I did get paid in case anyone is wondering,now tomorrow I will do my regular customers at 50 bucks each and no ice to worry about.
